PS: Please vote for the monthly ticket, dear friends, and remember to give me a thumbs up for me. Shi Baobao is a little cute and needs care.

When Zhang Tan came to the set of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", he kept attracting people's attention along the way. Even if he walked past, they would turn back.

Producer Zhao Silu was discussing something with director Zhang Niancheng, and was startled when he saw Zhang Tan approaching. Zhao Silu smiled and said, "Is there any happy event for Mr. Zhang today? He is so handsome dressed so smartly."

Zhang Tan wore a dark blue suit, white shirt, and mid-blue tie today, a rare formal outfit.

"I have to go to a meeting later." Zhang Tan responded.

Zhao Silu didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Mr. Zhang and I are discussing about filming in India. If Teacher Zhang is not in a hurry, please give me some advice."

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is about to go to India for filming. It's not easy to go abroad. There are many things that you can't control yourself, so you need to make careful arrangements in advance.

Zhang Tan discussed with the two for a while, and after the three reached an agreement, he left and came to the Kuxun Video headquarters.

A shareholders' meeting is held here today.

The company's board secretary was entertaining shareholders and bosses outside the conference room. Seeing Zhang Tan appear, he hurriedly greeted him, enthusiastically led him into the conference room, and introduced him to the other directors present.

Four people have already arrived in the conference room. One of them is Xiang Yu'an, the company's executive vice president. He is also a partner of Kucheng. The two created and founded Kuxun Video together.

Xiang Yu'an is a middle-aged man, but he maintains a good figure. He wears a shirt and suit without showing his belly. It can be seen that he has a fitness habit.

"Hello, Mr. Xiang!"

Zhang Tan took the initiative to shake hands with him. The two had met a few times, but not too many.

Xiang Yu'an has an office in the company, but has very little interaction with Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan is either on the crew or comes to the company just to find Ku Cheng directly, and rarely stays here for nothing.

"Hello Zhang Tan, I have heard Mr. Ku praise you for a long time. I am even younger and more promising!"

Xiang Yu'an smiled and held the hand he extended, and Zhang Tan felt that his palm was soft and strong. He was a pampered man, and his family background was probably very good, which was different from Ku Cheng who started from scratch.

Zhang Tan had heard some rumors that Xiang Yu'an and Ku Cheng were university alumni and lived in the same dormitory.

Both Xiang Yu'an and Ku Cheng hold shares in Kuxun Video. In addition, there are two strange middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman in the conference room. The secretary wants to continue introducing Zhang Tan, Xiang Yu'an smiles and says Come.

One of them is Cao Nian, from Changfeng Group.

The other person is Zhu Ping, from Quyuan Entertainment.

The last woman with a proud temperament is Shi Lihong, a representative of angel investment.

Kuxun Video has had several rounds of financing. These three units held shares through financing and entered the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors.

Ku Cheng was the last one to arrive. When he saw Zhang Tan, he asked, "Have we all met him before?"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I've seen it before."

Ku Cheng sat in the chair of the meeting, Xiang Yuan sat on his left, below him was Shi Lihong, on the right was Cao Nian from Changfeng Group, and behind him was Zhu Ping from Quyuan Entertainment.

Zhang Tan's position is behind Shi Lihong, sitting on the left.

Before the meeting, Ku Cheng introduced Zhang Tan to everyone again and listed Zhang Tan's glorious achievements before starting the theme of today's meeting.

Today we are going to discuss preparations for the listing. Kuxun’s listing is getting closer and closer. This board meeting should be the last before the listing. Many things need to be finalized and a consensus reached.

It was the first time for Zhang Tan to participate, and he was only a small shareholder, so he listened more, watched more, and talked less.

Changfeng Group holds 23% of the shares of Kuxun Video, Quyuan Entertainment holds 15%, and Angel Investment holds 6%. Together, the three parties have a shareholding ratio of up to 44%!

In addition, Ku Cheng holds 30%, Xiang Yuan holds 21%, and Zhang Tan holds 5%.

Kucheng and Xiang Yu'an have absolute control over the company, and they act in concert and have absolute say in the management and operation of the company.

The person in charge of the company's legal department entered the conference room to report on work.

Zhang Tan listened carefully to his report and had a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the company's business for the first time.

In general, Kuxun Video has two major businesses, one is long video and the other is short video.

Currently, long-form videos account for the majority of business revenue and are the company’s entire source of profit.

Short video developed late, is an emerging business, and has been losing money.

One of the discussion points at this meeting was whether to spin off the short video business and only list the mayor video when going public. The advantage of this is that long videos, as high-quality assets, can bring a higher stock issuance price to the company.

Everyone disagrees.

Through observation, Zhang Tan discovered that Xiang Yu'an and Zhu Ping of Quyuan Entertainment supported the listing. Shi Lihong of Angel Investment disagreed. She believed it should be divested. Cao Nian of Changfeng Group shared the same view.

As for Ku Cheng, he has never expressed his opinion and does not know the true intention.

Seeing everyone arguing, Ku Cheng looked at Zhang Tan and asked Zhang Tan what he thought.

Zhang Tan laughed and did not give his own opinion.

He had three ideas, but he didn't want to say any of them. The position he has set for himself today is to come with only ears and eyes, not to speak, and to express as few opinions as possible, even if he associates the short video business with Douyin in his previous life.

Ku Cheng didn't take it seriously, he just asked casually. If Zhang Tan really boasted, he would have a bad impression of him.

"Let's go public together." He made the final decision.

He gave his final opinion, and Cao Nian from Changfeng Group and Shi Lihong from Angel Investment stopped talking. The direction had been set, so they would implement it conscientiously and there would be no more ambiguity.

The board meeting lasted all morning and ended at one o'clock in the afternoon. Ku Cheng invited everyone to the company restaurant for dinner and lunch was already prepared.

Everyone was already hungry. When they went out, Zhang Tan happened to be last with Zhu Ping. Zhang Tan stretched out his hand to indicate that he should be invited first. Zhu Ping smiled and put his arm around his shoulders and went out together, saying: "Mr. Ku has spent a lot of money to recruit you. , I am also in the film and television entertainment industry, and I have heard of your name a long time ago. Now everyone is paying attention to your "I am not the God of Medicine". When will you invite us to the set to have a look?"

Cao Nian and Xiang Yuan, who were walking in front, turned around and smiled. Zhang Tan said: "The weather is good today, the spring is bright, and the warmth is suitable. What's more rare is that everyone is here today. It's better to hit the sun and go have a look after lunch." How about it? Just take a walk to eat."

Kucheng turned around and said, "That's a good suggestion. I haven't been to the set yet, or today. Zhang Tan is right. The weather is so good. It's rare that everyone is here. Let's go and have a look. I heard that the set is about to move to India." , we won’t see you for several months, Zhang Tan, right?”

Zhang Tan said: "Yes, I may go to India next week."

"Okay, I haven't seen filming yet." Cao Nian agreed.

Upon hearing this, the secretary of the board of directors immediately went to arrange relevant work and called the producer Zhao Silu. When he learned that she was on the set, he said: "Boss Ku and several shareholders are going to the set to visit everyone. You should prepare quickly, but Mr. Ku has told me not to affect the normal shooting."

Zhao Silu immediately started preparations and told Zhang Niancheng about the matter. After the two discussed it, they decided that Zhang Niancheng would continue filming according to the schedule. Zhao Silu came to handle the reception, cleaned up the scene, and told the staff not to desert. That was basically it. .

Zhang Niancheng had just left when he suddenly came back and asked, "Should we call Zhang Tan? The shareholders are here, and he'd better be here to leave a good impression."

He truly thought about Zhang Tan.

Zhao Silu also felt that Zhang Tan should be called over. Although he said he was going to a meeting in the morning, the meeting should be over in the morning. Even if it was not over, he should still ask for leave to come. After all, things here are very important.
